Why does my range rover alarm keep going off?
An annoying car alarm that goes off all night is embarrassing when it's your car. It will not only lead you to lose shut eye, but it will also irritate your neighbors. A statutory nuisance warning can be issued if your car's alarm system fails. Worse, it may prevent you from detecting an actual intrusion.
If this is your problem, these common issues might be the cause:
- Check the sensors of your Range Rover.
Range Rovers have a lot of sensors in them. You may find them mostly on the doors, but your car has little sensors everywhere. If someone’s trying to mess with your car, they throw your keys out of the way but now your keys are close to your car, this small sensor picks that up and therefore signals the car’s alarm to go off.
- You might have a defective hood latch sensor.
Other sensors in your vehicle may cause your car horn to go off at random. Your hood latch sensor, for example, is a simple electrical switch that detects whether the hood is open or shut. When your hood sensor detects an open hood latch, it closes the electrical switch and illuminates the dash with a warning light. However, if the hood sensor is faulty, the car alarm will sound regardless of whether it is late at night or while you are driving. Cleaning your hood might solve this case. However, if you still hear the alarm after cleaning, your hood sensor may have been damaged or tampered with. In any case, replace it immediately.
- You might have corroded battery terminals.
A low battery level is one cause of your car alarm, and corroded battery terminals are another. Your vehicle's alarm system interprets this as a low-battery condition and, as a result, sounds the alarm to warn you. In addition to humidity and salt, incorrectly trying to charge your car battery could really cause rust or corrosion. Corrosion tends to form on the negative battery terminal when a battery is undercharged. An overcharged battery, on the other hand, will have visible rust on the positive battery terminal.
